As a SMN, is it worth using Thunder?

Comparable damage? no. They focus on MND, not Int. They don't have Fester and most of their time is focused on healing. Yes they can put DoT. The same thing with WHM, they can put DoT, use Holy etc. But they also focus on healing. If WHM anc SCH cannot at least do damage, then how would they solo?

Well if you consider 5 dots ticking for over 300ish dmg accumulative that's pretty close to a summoners total dmg with a pet. Its less for sure but not by much and yes o understand they have to have a way to solo but comparable, yes I'd say so having both classes and seeing it.
